COMMENT AND OPINION.

JUDGE Noah DAVIS, of New York, put his ex-
perence into a few words when he said: THE

in search of myth was exposed-New York

opinions of that gentleman, or any other; but
without hesitation affirms its own uncompli-
mentary judgment Of the person who thinks he
is escaping from the tyranny of master over
his serf by surrendering his personal liberty to
strike and boycott society The notion that such
person is trying by the only remedy now
available to do more than simply exist" is wholly
fallacous. The supposed remedy" is no RENE
dy, but simply mode OF perpetuating the
i disease-of riveting. beyond hope, the bonds of

| managers OF trunk lines to the bicycle riders
/ has grievance to present. Before the shad
| season is over we shall probably have the com
mission called upon to secure better accommoda
